"France's state-owned energy group EDF temporarily shut down three nuclear reactors on Sunday, while warning that seven others may need to adjust their power output as the heatwave sweeping the country continues. According to the company, the measure is an environmental protection requirement to avoid discharging excessively hot water into rivers already warming because of the heatwave." https://www.euronews.com/business/2026/07/13/france-shuts-down-nuclear-reactors-as-heatwave-intensifies
